Well, according to “industry sources,” FCC chairman Kevin Martin is “aggressively pushing” for revisions to the 700MHz open-access rule in response to Verizon Wireless’ lobbying efforts. However, having been met with an internal FCC “backlash” last week, Martin is said to be preparing a “declaratory ruling” in an effort to fast-track support for VZW’s claim outside of the normal public-comment process.

RCR Wireless reports that Verizon might have been doing some behind-the-scenes lobbying in order to get the provisions watered down. In a blog post, Google is taking issue with Verizon’s contention, and points out that they have been in touch with the FCC.
